Radiodiagnostic dilemmas of telangiectatic osteosarcoma: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The telangiectatic osteosarcoma (TGS), an extremely lytic and hemorrhagic variant of the osteosarcoma, presents in the same age group and location as a classical osteosarcoma but has a radiographic appearance almost identical to that of an aggressive aneurismal bone cyst, making diagnosis more complex. Here we are reporting a rare case of biopsy proven telangiectatic osteosarcoma in distal tibia of a 12 years old boy, who was misdiagnosed clinically as a case of aneurismal bone cyst.

Magnetic resonance imaging of a sacral bone with telangiectatic osteosarcoma in a dog: a case report
A canine patient with osteosarcoma of the sacrum was subjected to low-field magnetic resonance imaging with the following sequences: FSE, SE, 3D HYCE, X BONE, Fast STIR, GE STIR and Gradient Echo. Due to the size and location of the tumour, surgery was not performed, and the patient was euthanized. A histopathological analysis of the tumour revealed telangiectatic osteosarcoma.

متن کاملTelangiectatic osteosarcoma of the rib: a rare entity and a potential diagnostic pitfall.
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant tumor of bones that produces osteoid matrix. Telangiectatic osteosarcoma (TOS) is a rare variant of OS. It affects the long bones especially the lower end of femur and the upper ends of tibia and humerus, a distribution similar to the conventional osteosarcoma. The rib involvement is very infrequent. We present a case of TOS of the rib that posed ...
